I am working on detailing an assembly that requires two parts to be bolted together and then have a hole bored through both parts. I want to show the assembly without the bore and then with the bore. I do not want to have to create a derived part. There should be a way of toggling this extrusion in the assembly view, but I have not yet found it.
View 4 RepliesI wanted to add an extrusion to an asembly. I was able to highlight the required geometry and create the feature, but is not showing up. In the browser, there's a red "up arrow" beside it. Why is it not showing?

Is it possible to have a column in the BOM but i do not want to show it on the drg.
like you can do it for rows for example...
I have created a part with multi bodies (concrete block with reo bar), in the drawing I want a view that shows just the reo bar - concrete hidden. Can this be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making a multiview drawing with isometric of a certain sheet metal part. Due to manufacturing reasons, they have to make the part longer than necessary to get a bend in it then I will have them shear off the extra. Is there a way I can show the multiview and flat pattern WITH the extra material and show the isometric WITHOUT that extra? In the model I remove the excess with a cut but I don't know how to suppress a feature for one view and not another.

I deleted many features since the file was large, and many features got warnings, but extrusion 15 was the only one with warning in the original file.
I have closed profile "Sketch1" placed on one of the parts in Assembly.
Suggest iLogic code to create cut Extruson (Extents=All) based on the "Sketch1"
First off if I update a sketch block in a derived part, how do I get the sketch blocks to update? Do I have to delete derived item, and rederive it?
Also if I modify a sketch block that is used for a extrusion, how do I get the extrusion to update? Do I have to delete extrusion and rextrude?
I have a multibodied part (roughly 700 parts) and I need to do a cut extrusion. The problem is that when I'm cutting through a hundred or more solids I might miss one if it's close to the edge. I though, no problem I'll just go back to the extrusion command and add those solids I missed. Problem, the program only lets me select one solid and undoes all I had previously.
2013 FDS
(Image attached). I am using Inventor 2013 and Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a sketch within one of my views on my .idw. I would like to turn this sketch on or off based on the input from a variable that is read elsewhere. I have used the following code from the help file with no luck so far.
Public Sub SketchEdit() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument ' Determine if there are any sheet overlay sketches. Dim oSketches As DrawingSketches oSketches = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.Sketches If oSketches.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If ' Set a reference to the first sketch. Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch oSketch = oSketches.Item(4) oSketch.Edit() If vValue_Closer = "" Then oSketch.LineWeight = 0 Else oSketch.LineWeight = 0.007 End If ' Return from edit mode. oSketch.ExitEdit() End Sub
The code errors out on the line 'osketch = osketches.item(4)'. I have tried using a number like that, and I have also tried using the actual name of the sketch. Neither works.
oSketch = oSketches.Item("Closer_Reinf")
what to edit here to get it to look at my Closer_Reinf sketch to hide it/unhide it ?
I'm trying to move a rectangular extrusion towards me on an object, however it will only go farther away from me, and to the right and left.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI cut a curved profile using extrusion and mirrored it about the original plane. But It doesn't cut thoroughly ? there is still a surface of the rarer side of the part ?
the original extrude cut was "Through All".When do the same cut gving a distance...it mirrors perfectly..
In sketches i can see the names of the dimensions, the parameters, but if i have a few extrusions, can i know which parameter governs the height of the extrusion only according to their content?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden, my line tool in sketch mode does not connect segment to segment and each individual line can be dragged wherever. This also means I cannot extrude any shapes I make because inventor does not realize the series of line segments create a closed shape. This happens across all part files, old and new.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe've got a lot of pipe added from CC then manually edited the extrusion length (D2) while modeling (not using tube and pipe). Now I want to get pipe lengths from the BOM. Currently the BOM gives the PL parameter as length, which is incorrect.
I know I can rename D2 and mark it as an exported parameter and add that to the BOM.
I think I could also make PL equal to D2 which would also solve the problem.
Both of these solutions would require opening and editing hundreds of parts, taking a LONG time.
We design long overland conveyors that can be kilometers long. In two separate instances, I have extruded a profile along a path that is a few hundred meters long with no problem. However, when the path gets to around 700 meters, the extrusion that worked fine at 600 meters simply falls apart. Does Inventor seriously have a limitation to length of an extrusion?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm writing code to split long part list in new sheets. Infact it's finished but very slow. Because each time I hide the line part list start to refresh itself...
I tryed to use
oDoc.DrawingSettings.DeferUpdates = True
But in this case I can only see empty part list on each page?!...
I just want to speed up process and I want to refresh part list view after than hiding process finished completely...
Inventor 2010 suite
If IV2010 allows hiding of the DIMENSION lines and ARROWS in an IDW files? I found a thread from 2009 that says it is impossible.
However, I found a way to hide them on some RETRIEVED dimensins, but not on others.
How to MANUALLY, or to create STYLE that hides MY choice of:
1. EXTENSION LINES,
2. DIMENSION LINES,
3. ARROWS
I design press tools. Is there any ways in inventor 2012, where I can have only one common sketch in zero height and extrude profiles in different heights. Like plate no 1 @100 to 120mm (in vertical axis. A 20mm thick plate placed at 100mm above zero plane.) and plate no 2 in 150 to 175mm height and so on.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a sketch for a 1.125" tall bounding wall. The inside contour is projected, and the outside contour is offset .125." When I extrude the desired profile, the inside corners, which are project radii, turn inside out. I don't know how else to explain it. I will attach before/after screen shots.
I reboot my PC at lunch because I was getting other odd errors, lots o' C++ runtime joys. That was some two hours ago, and I had a slew of errors/crashes after that around one. Now, no error messages, but this interesting occasion.
I'm trying to modify the depth of extrusion feature "Extrusion1".
As you can see, it doesn't let me. It only allows the extrusion setting "new solid".
I have just downloaded an educational version of Inventor. Although I can create sketches I cannot extrude the sketch to form a solid. The origin arrow heads appear over size and it seems as if the origin plane is being extruded to form a solid!

Inventor Edu 2013
Whenever I edit an Extrude 'cut' feature,(eg: To Add or remove a profile), the OK button is greyed out and no matter what I do, I can't get it back.
The only way to edit the extrusion is to:
Shift EOP
Delete the extrusion
Recreate the extrusion.
Shift EOP
fix errors if any.

When I try to select several solids for an extrusion cut/interference I can do so fairly quickly by selecting all of them in the browser so long as the extrusion is set to "all" or "distance".
For some reason when I need to do a "to" or "between" I have to select them one at a time. Every time I select a solid the select solids options returns to the input so that I have to select one solid then press the "Solids" button and select another one. This tends to do the same thing if I create an extrusion and then want to later modify the solids taking part in the extrusion. Is there an option I can turn off?
